Nigerians on social media have reacted after Pastor Enoch Adeboye condemned the killing of Vera Omozuwa.

Recall that Omozuwa, a 100 level student of the University of Benin, was raped and killed in a Redeemed church.

Condemning the heinous crime, Pastor Adeboye said the church is already looking into the matter and urged everyone to stay calm. He also prayed for the family of the deceased.
